Liebster Blog Award!

So, I've been a horrible blogger. I got nominated for this award by Jennifer at Little J's Nail Corner while I had been on vacation and I never got to it. When I got back from vacation, I had to get back into the groove of life! Haha! But, now Ive been nominated for a second time!! How awesome is that?! This time, I'm doing right by my fellow bloggers and getting to it! This time Steamy Nails nominated me. Let me just thank the two ladies mentioned for both nominating Tuxarina! I'm still a small blog just looking for my corner of the Internet. Both of these two have become loyal followers and always take time to comment of my posts. :) It makes me so happy to make connections with other bloggers!

Ok, so the Liebster Award.

The rules are as follows:

Each person tagged must post 11 things about themselves.

They must also answer the 11 questions the 'tagger' has set for them.

They must create 11 more questions to ask bloggers they have decided to tag.

They must then choose 11 bloggers with less than 200 followers and tag them in their post.

These lucky bloggers must then be told.

There are no tag backs.

These are the questions set up for me by Steamy Nails!

1. When did you discover your love for nail polish? Hm, probably around two years ago. 2. How many polishes do you own? Omg too many. I'm not even going to count them.

Aww thank you so much, Kelly! <3 I love your blog too, thank you for nominating me! And oh my gosh I'm a HUGE Harry Potter/Game of Thrones/Greek mythology fan too! I read the last Harry Potter book overnight when it came out without sleeping, probably around 12 hours too!

Thank you so much for the nomination! I appreciate that you thought of my blog. :) If you don't mind, I'll answer your questions right here! Usually I don't get around to doing this stuff, but it seems like fun right now. :D

1. What motivated you to get into blogging? The community! I wanted to connect with people who share my obsession with polish. 2. First nail polish that started it all? Sally Hansen Chrome, from waaaaay back in the day. 3. Favorite brand? I love all the indie brand, and couldn't choose a favourite, but out of the "bigger"/established brands, I can't get enough of Illamasqua and A-England.4. Ok, how many is in your collection? Oh my gosh... I stopped counting, but I'm estimating somewhere in the 300-400 category. 5. Other hobbies other than polish? Reading, music (listening- I'm not very talented when it comes to making music), movies, comics and video games. Cooking and baking also occupy my time!6. What do you do for work? I'm currently a grad student, but I also make lacquer (Pirate Polish on Etsy).7. Favorite hand pose haha! Lol! I just kind of go with whatever works, but it's almost always of my left hand (I'm not good taking pictures of my right hand!). 8. Whats your guilty pleasures? Nail lacquer definitely fits into this category, but I'd also say shoes and clothing count here. 9. Favorite childhood cartoon (or present cartoon.) I was crazy about Thundercats! Gargoyles was also a favourite of mine. 10. Most wanted polish? Your Holy Grail of Polish? I'd love to get my hands on some of those Sally Hansen Nail Prisms from ages ago. They look so awesome!11. Favorite blogs to look at? I compulsively check Scrangie! And there are so many others I want to follow religiously, but it ends up being more sporadic.
